Sinergy of action between rehabilitation protocol and anti-TNF alpha versus biological therapy
2012
AS is a chronic and progressive pathology that notably cripples the patient's psyco-physical status, with a remarkable compromising of the relational life. Practising regularly the therapeutic exercise along with the anti-TNF alpha, allowed a quick pain reduction, a long maintenance of the rachis functional elasticity and a correct posture, giving a better social and professional life quality.
SGK-1 protects kidney cells against apoptosis induced by ceramide and TNF-α
2015
AbstractCeramide regulates several different cellular responses including mechanisms leading to apoptosis. Serum- and glucocorticoid-inducible protein kinase (SGK)-1 is a serine threonine kinase, which activates survival pathways in response to stress stimuli. Recently, we demonstrated an anti-apoptotic role of SGK-1 in human umbilical endothelial cells treated with high glucose. In the present study, since ceramide induces apoptosis by multiple mechanisms in diabetes and its complication such as nephropathy, we aimed to investigate whether SGK-1 may protect even against apoptosis induced by ceramide in kidney cells. Human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293 cells stable transfected with SGK-1 wild …
Extracellular Vesicles from Hyperammonemic Rats Induce Neuroinflammation and Motor Incoordination in Control Rats.
2020
Minimal hepatic encephalopathy is associated with changes in the peripheral immune system which are transferred to the brain, leading to neuroinflammation and thus to cognitive and motor impairment. Mechanisms by which changes in the immune system induce cerebral alterations remain unclear. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) seem to play a role in this process in certain pathologies. The aim of this work was to assess whether EVs play a role in the induction of neuroinflammation in cerebellum and motor incoordination by chronic hyperammonemia. We characterized the differences in protein cargo of EVs from plasma of hyperammonemic and control rats by proteomics and Western blot. We assessed whether…
Dabīgu imūnmodulatoru kvalitātes kontroles metožu izvērtējums un stimulējošās iedarbības salīdzinājums ar baktēriju endotoksīnu
2016
Darba mērķis bija raksturot dabīga imūnmodulatora AMP dezamināzes aktivitāti saturoša glikoproteīnu kompleksa (AMPD) darbību in vitro un novērtēt, vai šī iedarbība nav saistīta ar iespējamo endotoksīna (LPS) piesārņojumu. Tika izvērtētas AMPD attīrīšanas metodes, salīdzināta AMPD, LPS un lentināna ietekme uz iekaisuma citokīnu sekrēciju mononukleārajās šūnās, kā arī uz dermas fibroblastu proliferāciju. AMPD frakcijas sastāvs un polisaharīda daļas iespējami strukturālā līdzība ar LPS sarežģīja kvalitātes kontroli. Tāpat kā LPS, AMPD stimulēja TNF un IL-6 produkciju un veicināja dermas fibroblastu proliferāciju ar imūnšūnu sekretēto proteīnu starpniecību. LPS neitralizēšanai izmantojamās met…
